Schiro also explains the the advancements of Fingerprinting and DNA. Forensic scientist and investigators both you a system called AFIS to identify suspects by using fingerprints and DNA. This system was made about 33 yrs. ago, before then it was time consuming and very hard identify people. AFIS helped developed a faster easily used technique that enable investigators to identify crime suspects. With this information Schiro believes that hopefully in the future, science can develop a way where suspects can be identify instantly.
